Hello, I am trying to run Jellyfin. I am having the same issue as a post from Mar 2024. That one was solved with a reinstall but that has not worked for me. I have jellyfin installed and connected to the working nextcloud install. I have tried uninstalling jellyfin/nextcloud and reinstalling without luck. I have even tried downgrading both just to see if that would get it working but no such luck. The OS logs show the following:

I am not hell bent on using Jellyfin, just wanted to play around with it and see what it could do with the Apple TV. Anyway, thanks for any help anyone can give.
If your Jellyfin service is in a constant starting loop, the best course of action will be to run a System Rebuild.
This process won’t delete or change anything, it will just rebuild the containers.
You can find this option under System → Power → System Rebuild
Keep in mind that It may take quite a while to complete. During this time, you will lose all connectivity to your server, so please be patient and let the process finish and then the server will restart on its own.
Alvaro. Thanks for your reply. I tried rebuilding but i still get the same error TJrouill was getting. I’ve been trying to get jellyfin to run for days now. getting exact same error. Did this resolve the issue for you Tjrouill? any help would be appreciated
In StartOS, this typically signals a “No such file or directory” issue during filesystem operations like service updates, installations, or boots. Common causes include missing files, corrupted storage, failed service deployments (e.g., Jellyfin), or disk I/O problems blocking path access.
If a system rebuild did not fixed it, then reflash StartOS using instructions from this post.
